2 Drug Smugglers Arrested at RIA, 1 Carrying Cocaine Pellets in Stomach!

According to The Liberian Observer The Liberia Narcotics Control Bureau, otherwise known as the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA), has intercepted and arrested two foreigners at the Roberts International Airport (RIA), foiling a massive drug deal destined for the country during the inaugural parties, one of the illegal substance conveyors has admitted. The LDEA had put all of its machinery into action on the eve of the October 10 presidential and legislative elections – up to the December 26 presidential runoff election – when drugs are widely used in rave parties. Acting on this task, the RIA Zonal Unit of the LDEA had put all of its focus on the foreigners coming to the country through the airport to reportedly supply some of the illegal substances. One of the two foreigners, a 25-year old Nigerian identified as Friday Samuel Mbah, was trying to smuggle into Liberia 23 capsules of pure cocaine in his stomach when he was intercepted on January 13 at the RIA by on duty LDEA agents. Meanwhile, an X-ray report showed at least two more pellets inside Mbah’s stomach.

He was arrested and held at the medical facility until the drugs were removed from his system. It was not clear if the suspect allegedly ingested the drugs before or after his flight to Liberia.
